{"title":"The Relationship of Institutional Characteristics, State Support, and Alternative Revenue","authors":"Eleonora Carr","doi":"10.2139/ssrn.3454132","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.3454132","url":null,"abstract":"Amid declining state funding, are public universities seeking alternative revenue streams to try and keep tuition and fees down? Is diversification just a public university phenomenon? If both private and public schools are seeking new sources of revenue, then state appropriations may not be the impetus. Instead, institutional characteristics may have a greater influence. This study examines higher education institutions (HEIs) by sector using the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS) from fiscal years 2003-2004 through 2016-2017. Previous research has found each state to be different in their policies, politics, and fiscal health. Controlling for these variables, my study finds that institutional characteristics influence which HEIs seek alternative revenue streams and that these characteristics often strengthen the relationship between state appropriations and alternative revenue sources.","PeriodicalId":111083,"journal":{"name":"EMS 2019: Proceedings","volume":"178 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115722704","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
{"title":"Effect of Behavioural Finance on Stock Exchange Performance in Ghana","authors":"Daniel Addo","doi":"10.2139/ssrn.3454083","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.3454083","url":null,"abstract":"The study seeks to explain the relationship between behavioural finance and stock exchange performance. Specifically, the study seeks to bring to the fore how risk averse behaviours, overconfidence and individual investors perception of risk affect the performance of the stock exchange. The study is a conceptual paper and does not empirically test the various relationships in the paper. Arguments put forth by the paper is largely backed by evidence from the Ghanaian stock exchange market. The paper made some interesting propositions that the risk averse behaviours of investors will have a positive relationship with stock exchange performance, whiles the investors overconfidence also has positive relation with stock exchange performance whereas the risk perception of investors is proposed to have a negative relationship with stock exchange performance. This study is one of the very first studies that considers the behaviour dimension to the stock exchange performance. The paper has several implications for managers and investors.","PeriodicalId":111083,"journal":{"name":"EMS 2019: Proceedings","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114384070","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
